JCL jobs migration

 Top  Previous  Next

In order to run on the target system, mainframe jobs (JCL) must be converted into the corresponding scripting language of the new host platform. The generated scripts have to make use of the XFRAME Batch Environment utilities and, in order to obtain a smoother migration, should reflect the coding logic described in Scripts logic chapter.

The automated job conversion is achieved by means of xmvsconv, which translates JOBs and PROCs coming from z/OS, OS/390, MVS and VSE systems into:

•C shell or Korn Shell for UNIX and Linux systems
•WSH (Windows Script Host) for Windows systems
